Looking for a meeting of the souls... a deep mutually nurturing connection!

I could say it's all about sipping a nice red wine by a warm wood burning fire all while holding you in my arms gazing at the stars! But seriously...

I take all this for granted.

For me coming together means being there for each others' unconditional support while reaching for our true potential and even though it seems like a cliche I know the synergy will create a sum greater than its parts. I wish to unite with a kindred spirit who knows that our "journey" is one that reaches beyond the boundaries of the world of form which has only served to enslave the body, the mind and the emotions for eons of time... it certainly includes some comforts and luxuries but they are not the priority since in my view true human potential lies beyond these restrictions.

More specifically it means that together we will experience a full and complete enjoyment of each moment on this planet totally enamored with the abundance found in the simple treasures that surround us and... according to our mutual desire mostly through and with each other we will penetrate the realm of soul!

A life of magic by design...!

I have spent my lifetime to fully clarify this for myself and have paid a great price for the lessons learned. It has been worth every single minute for all the joy, peace and harmony that I feel inside me today. I'm now ready to share my life with a partner who has also arrived or wishes to get to this place in her journey... If all this means absolutely nothing to you then probably we are not at the same place and chances are you will pass me by. I believe the words we use ring true for the person who is meant to read or hear them. I trust fully and completely that the woman who is going to be by my side knows this well.

I've been single for over five years and feel I will not be complete until I find a partner that will inspire me, and I her, to manifest a most gratifying intimate relationship. Intelligent conversation stimulates me, playfulness inspires me, passion lights up my soul! I wish to leave no stones unturned, all while maintaining a great respect for the earth that sustains us of course. I tend to connect well with a creative and energetic woman, especially if she has taken care of her health... non smoking please. I enjoy most winter sports and in the summer I golf and like to hike and spend time in a natural setting, preferably near the water. Swimming, canoeing/kayaking and hiking in the wilderness is my ideal place to recharge. I'm an avid reader with a very strong ethical and spiritual side. I'm looking for a kindred soul... Fluent in both official languages and would welcome the opportunity to learn a third! :)

Due in part to circumstance but mostly through personal choices I'm not financially ready to consider retirement at this stage. Actually I feel compelled to add to this since I find myself being unsatisfied with the unsaid: "my financial situation is currently dismal" and I sense it will likely take the re-incarnation of Mother Theresa for me to have any hope to find a partner courageous enough to see the potential at this time. Still, it does not stop my soul from longing for this most precious connection! Perhaps this will also explain my hesitation to contact some most wonderful and given different circumstances suitable mates. For now I leave this in the hands of destiny... one never truly knows what another day will bring!

Also of note is that even though I'm in the city at the present time I have spent most of my life in a natural environment near the water and will likely look to return to such a place to settle down when it's time or sooner if the opportunity presents itself...

Anyone looking for a well diversified and experienced business associate? :) From the way I see it there's nothing like a more awakened spiritual perspective to launch on a solid foundation... I've learned that there is no price too dear for inner joy, peace and harmony and in the process I've developed an immense compassion for all the struggles people face on their personal evolutionary path. That alone makes starting over a charm and has made me a most grateful man!

In any event retirement for me will never be a time to crawl under a rock as I fully intend to remain permanently engaged in life in a direct way. This is my reality and you can decide whether this should influence your decision to consider me a potential suitor. Just a short add-on! This is a quote I came across after I last edited my profile and thought it complemented it nicely:

"Destiny is not a matter of chance, it's a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved."
-- William Jennings Bryan, 41st United States Secretary of State

With the right chemistry where I spend my time with the right woman is secondary, I tend to find pleasure in the simple treasures life offers in abundance. Together we can come up with plenty of great ideas to spend quality time getting to know each other. I tend not to create these mental pictures or expectations, loving the element of pleasant surprises. There are unlimited activities which would peak my interest... I love to explore!
